Schools will soon be invited to take part in the Children’s Choice voting. Schools and groups are encouraged to take part in the award by joining in and voting for their favourite book in each section and also by choosing an overall winner.

Peters Books & Furniture support the award by supplying packs of the short listed titles as an offer to schools – this year at a 25% discount on full price.

Voting will open during June at www.sla.org.uk/vote.php and continue through to early November. Each section will have a winner, chosen by the panel, as well as a children’s choice winner. There will also be an overall winner, awarded to the best information book across all categories chosen by judges and also the Children’s votes.
